1. Main FeaturesThis software can control and operate settings, recording data playing etc. when GL100 is connected to a USB or LAN.

1-1. A Variety of Display FormatsSpecial features include Y-T display, digital display, statistic and history display on a large easy to read screen.

Y-T ViewThis graph shows data with the input signal levels on the Y-axis and the time on the X-axis. It can display a waveform and digital values of each channel at the same time. The control icons in the lower part of the screen allow you to scale up and down the time axis, X-axis, etc. This graph can be displayed in two or five split screens, each showing different signals.

Digital ViewDisplays digital values of each channel in a large, easy-to-read numbers.

Statistics and History DisplayMaximum, minimum and average values can be confirmed during recording.Alarm operation can be displayed as a list in time sequence for your confirmation.

1-4. Export to Direct Excel File FunctionCaptured data can be exported directly to an Excel file and displayed as graphs.Ready-to-use template files are provided as standard for your convenience.(Note: The Microsoft Excel program must be installed.)

1-5. Thumbnail Waveform DisplayBefore replaying captured data, the waveforms can be checked by referring to the small images (thumbnails) provided next to each file name. These thumbnails provide easy confirmation of the data before opening the file.

1-6. CSV File Batch ConversionData captured in binary files is converted in a batch to CSV files.

Page 7: GL100-APS · 2 Contents 1. Main Features ..... 4

1-7. Calculation functionsThe available calculation functions are Statistical Calculation and Calculation between Channels.Statistical Calculation allows you to check the maximum, minimum, and average values of all the channels as numeric values.Calculation between Channels allows you to set four arithmetic operations between channels up to four at the maximum and check the results as waveforms.

1-8. Printing Function, Screen Save FunctionThe waveform screen can be printed out on a printer, and screen copies saved to a file.(Note: To use the printing function, the device must be connected to a printer.)

1-9. Send Email when Alarm is GeneratedInformation about alarm operation and periodical state of recording can be sent by email, for example, thereby ensuring that a check can be performed if required.(* You need an environment in which e-mail can be transmitted. The mail send function is available only during capturing. No mail is sent even if an alarm is generated during the Free Running status.)

1-10. Help FunctionHelp buttons that provide simple descriptions of the various functions are assigned to each of the menu setting items to provide ease of use.

3-2. Set wireless LANWireless LAN function is only available on GL100-WL (wireless LAN mounting) models.

3-2-1. About Wireless LANThe GL100-WL wireless LAN connection is broadly divided into two modes: "Access point" and "Station".The respective features and necessary devices and environment are different.

Comparison of Access Point Connection and Station Connection

Contents Access Point StationGL100 Wireless LAN Settings

Access Point (operation as parent device)

Station (operation as child device)

Features One to One Wireless LAN connection between GL100 and PC or Smartphone or tablet.

Can use when connecting for example to a commercially available wireless LAN parent device and controlling more than one GL100 with a PC, or with GL100 email send/receive functions, an Internet connection, or the like (*necessary when sending/receiving email or in an Internet connection environment).

Necessary Devices or Environment

• PC capable of wireless LAN connection (required to operate the software)

• PC capable of wireless LAN connection (required to operate the software)• Wireless LAN parent device (device mounting a wireless LAN parent device function receiving Wi-Fi verification)• An Internet connection environment when connecting to the Internet (Internet provider contract, or mobile carrier contract, etc.)When sending/receiving email, an Internet connection and email sending/receiving environment (use of an SMTP or POP3 such as Internet provider email, WEB email)

3-2-2. Setting up Wireless LAN

Use GL100-Network_Config software in the provided CD-ROM or set up in GL100 main unit.The GL-Network_Config is a PC application software, and can be used by installing from the CD-ROM onto the PC.

3-2-2-1. Setting up GL100 Network_Config

(For details, follow instructions for GL100-Network_Config software)1. Install GL100-Network_Config from GL100 CD-ROM onto PC.2. Install GL100 USB driver from CD-ROM.3.

Contents Access Point StationDHCP Switch ON when using an automatic sorting

function for information such as IP addresses for the wireless LAN child device connected to GL100 (the PC, Smartphone or tablet). Switch OFF when automatic sorting not used, and when the child device sets the respective IP addresses.

When the connected wireless LAN parent device includes a DHCP function, switching to ON will automatically acquire and set the IP addresses. When set to OFF, the IP addresses or the like are manually set on the TCP/IP page.

TCP/IP Setting Your IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.

Settings are performed with DHCP switched OFF. The segment of the wireless LAN parent device to be connected must match.EX.) When the wireless LAN parent device IP address is “192.168.1.1” and the subnet mask is “255.255.255.0”, the IP address that is set on the main unit is “192.168.1.***” and the subnet mask is “255.255.255.0”. ***" is a number from 2 to 254, and a number that a same address does not exist on the wireless LAN parent device network needs to be allocated.

SSID This is the wireless identification ID. For an access point, set your own SSID. The wireless LAN child device connected to the device is connected by setting this SSID. When using access point mode, you can use without change.

Input SSID of wireless LAN parent device to be connected.

Security Key Security can be enhanced by encrypting the wireless LAN connection. A third party who does not know the key can be prevented from connecting wirelessly to the device by a setting other than OFF. Normally, a setting of WPA or WPA2 is suitable.Off Encryption will not be performedAuto WPA/WPA2 will automatically be

identified. Access point mode cannot be used.

WEP Simple encryption method. Just set a 13 character key.

WPA Stronger encryption format than WEP. Set a key having from 8 characters to 63 characters.

WPA2

Input encryption key and security format for wireless LAN parent device. Refer to left side for security format.

6. Basic Operating ProcedureThe basic operating procedure of this software consists of the following four operations:

Operation DescriptionControlling the GL100 Device With the GL100 connected to a PC, you can load the setting information of this unit

to this software and make settings and control operations of this unit. The setting conditions can be saved as a configuration file in a PC. This file can be read to reflect the setting conditions.

Checking Input Data With the GL100 connected to a PC, you can display signals entered to this unit in a graph on this software and check them in real time.

Data Capture When the GL100 is connected to a PC, data can be exported to a PC and saved. Data can be also saved in the GL. Either of the saved data can be used as a backup. *There is a case where data that has been recorded in GL100 body and real-time recording of this software is different. (Data of the first point start time, trigger time, stop time, recorded the number, the beginning)

Replaying Captured Data Data files captured and saved in a PC can be replayed. When the GL100 is connected to a PC, data saved in the GL can be also replayed. You can clip the desired parts from the replayed data or convert it to a different file format and save it.

6-1. Controlling DeviceThis software can perform the following operations:• Start/Stop Data Capture• AMP Settings (Input, Range, etc.)• Data Capture Settings (Sampling Interval, etc.)• Trigger, Alarm Settings (Trigger Settings, Alarm Settings, etc.)• Other Settings (Temperature Unit, Factory Default Settings, etc.)
